4-year-old hit by vehicle in Fallbrook

FALLBROOK -- A 4-year-old girl was hit by a vehicle in a
Fallbrook crosswalk Wednesday afternoon, but her injuries are not
considered life-threatening, authorities said.

The child was hit at about 3:45 p.m. at the intersection of
South Mission Road and East Alvarado Street, North County Fire
Protection District spokesman John Buchanan said. It was not
immediately clear if she was accompanied by anyone, he said.

Though the girl did not sustain grave injuries, she was
transported by helicopter to Rady Children's Hospital San Diego as
a precautionary measure, Buchanan said.
